Before
the Training

Before the
training session starts, there are some requirements that you need to
complete.
Details below:

These should be completed before attending the first
training session:

Radiation
Safety Certification:Visit the
Environmental, Health and Safety Services (EHSS) site and register for
the CabinetX-ray Equipment class. Then
complete the Radiation Safety course through Blackboard. (This
class can be completed ONLINE; you do NOT have to attend any lectures.)

A radiation badge will be assigned to you and it must be worn
at all times when using the scanners. Allow for some time
for EHSS to deliver badges - usually your badges
are directly mailed to us

NCFL Entry Card: You
need to get a security key card for building access. For more details,
read the section on "Physical Access" at the NCFL site.

Collaboration Guidelines: You and the project PI
need to review the Collaborator
webpage for guidelines of facility usage. Following this, send an email
to the SAMCT
manager and Director (project PI in CC), stating that your project
team accepts the Guidelines.
